FLR to ILR (M)

You've already had to prove it to obtain FLR. Then for ILR they ask for proof since your last grant of leave to remain. So between the two visas the whole 5 year time period is covered.

We always recommend keeping the FLR mail until you have ILR though just in case one day they up and start asking for 5 years worth for ILR. They haven't yet but you never know!

I got ya! Definitely I save everything I still have my fiancé visa documents lol thank you for explaining.

It’s 6 documents in each name spaced evenly over 2.5 years, which is 30 months.

30 months / 6 documents = 1 document every 5 months

So you need 1 document in each name from each of the following months:

November 2019
April 2020
September 2020
February 2021
July 2021
December 2021
May 2022

Note that this comes to 7 documents rather than 6 but we recommend including all of them so that both the start and end of the 2.5 years are covered.

The documents must be from at least 3 official sources and they must have been received in the post in the months they were issued. You cannot use online bills or statements.

If you are unable to provide documents from the exact months listed above, or you don’t have at least 3 sources, or you don’t have enough in each name, you will need to write a letter explaining why not.

Yes, those are great.

Bank statements are very useful too. We recommend setting your statements to paper and have them come monthly. That way you are never stuck for a month and you can work round the other mail, then fill in any gaps with the bank statements.

Letters from HMRC, DVLA etc. Foreign bank statements sent to the UK, anything official really.

You only need 3 different sources though so it could be an electric bill, a council tax bill and all the rest bank statements.

Hubby doesn’t get much mail. Would pay slips be official?

If they have his address on them and were issued physically (not online), then they can be used.

Heya,

Just a question. Why they don’t charge for healthcare surcharge for (SET) M ILR ?

Because once you have ILR you are a permanent resident and are entitled to all the government benefits that UK citizens are, which you weren’t entitled to while on FLR(M)… including ‘free’ access to the NHS without having to pay anything extra for it.
